Watch: Ravindra Jadeja Dismissed 'Obstructing The Field'. Sakshi Dhoni's Reaction Is Viral
Ravindra Jadeja was dismissed 'obstructing the field' during the IPL 2024 match between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals.
Ravindra Jadeja was dismissed 'obstructing the field' during the IPL 2024 match between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals on Monday. During the 16th over of CSK's run chase, Jadeja guided a delivery from Avesh Khan to third-man and completed one run comfortably. The all-rounder turned and was half-way down the pitch for another run when Ruturaj Gaikwad asked him to turn back. Sanju Samson received the throw from the fielder and as he threw the ball towards the stumps on the non-striker's end, it hit Jadeja who was frantically trying to make his way back to the crease. The on-fielders umpires opted for a review and the third umpire decided that Jadeja deliberately changed his direction while running and decided to rule in RR's favour. The CSK crowd was left stunned by the decision and the reaction of Sakshi Dhoni - MS Dhoni's wife - has already gone viral on social media.

Coming to the match, Simarjeet Singh claimed three wickets to restrict RR to a modest total before Ruturaj Gaikwad led by example to guide the five-time champions to an important victory.
The victory took CSK to 14 points from 13 matches and they are in a good position to book their spot in the playoffs. However, if Royal Challengers Bengaluru beat Delhi Capitals, the match between CSK and RCB can be instrumental in deciding the playoff line-up.
